MEANS FOR SUSPENDING POWER PEGGlNG-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 227,944, dated May 25, 1880.

Application filed March 29,1880. Modem To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we,ERASTUs WOODWARD and MATTHIAS BROOK, both of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and Commonwealth of Mas- .sachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Means for Suspending Power Pegging Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improvement upon the mechanism for suspendinga power peggingmachine described in our Letters Patent of the United States filed on the 22d day of April, 1879, and dated August 5, 1879.

It consists in a modification in the construction ofthe mechanism, whereby the power pegging-machine may be provided with additional adjustments by the substitution of a gimbaljoint for the swinging hanger and swiveling supporting-rod of the said patent Reference is made to the accompanying drawings in explaining the nature of our invention, in Which- Figure l is an end elevation of the gimbaljoint and connecting-rod, with the counterbal- 2 5 anced tilting bar for supporting the peggingmachine shown in dotted outline. Fig. 2 is a plan of the gimbaljoint, showing its construction. Fig. 3 is a vertical central section, and Fig. 4 is a view, part in elevation and part in 0 section. i

The mechanism described in said patent for suspending the pegging-machine allows it to be moved in all directions in relation to the surface of the work or any other fixed point;

' 5 but the swiveling connection for providing it with lateral movement at right angles to the line of the counter-shaft does not allow the machine to be moved as readily and as quickly as is desirable, and it does not provide for so 40 great a range for the movement of the peggin g-machine in such a direction, the machine for the purposes of said adjustment being swung on a center corresponding to that of the axis of the vertical suspending-rod.

The gimbal-joint provides means for the 5 movement of the pegging-machine in all directions from the center of the drivingpnlley on the countershaft.

In the drawings, A represents the counter shaft, provided with suitable bearings in the hanger or hangers a or other suitable support;

B, the driving-pulley; C, an open frame, forming a portion of the gimbal-joint, supported at the point 0 by the counter-shaft A, and provided with the pivots c at right angles to the 5 5 axis of the shaft, which support the hanger 0 forming a portion of the gimbal'joint, and from which the rod 0 which holds the tilting rod c in the same manner that the rod s holds the rod s in the patent referred to, depends. The said rod 0 preferably should be arranged to swivel in the hanger 0 The frame C, it will be observed, entirely surrounds the driving-pulley.

The advantages of this construction over 6 that described in our said patent do not need to be further enumerated.

The belt 0 practically supports the counterbalanced tilting bar, and the bar 0 serves to steady and stay it.

Having thus fully described our invention, we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States As a means for suspending power peggingmachines, the combination of the tilting frame 7 5 C, having the pivotal bearings 0 upon the shaft A, and surrounding the pulley B, the con verging hangers c pivoted at c to the frame C, and the rod 0 suspended by said hangers. beneath the pulley and supporting the tilting 8o counterbalanced pegging-machine supportingbar 0 substantially as described.
